Gabinetto
A gabinetto is a small room in a palace or gallery reserved for one work or a small group of them. The Velázquez Cabinet at the Doria Pamphilj holds the portrait of Innocent X.
Example
Small rooms of this kind are where private galleries keep their best work, so the gabinetto on the plan is usually the reason for the visit.
